SKU: 060005
The ball-and claw foot, combined with the cabriole leg, is a hallmark of 18th-century furniture. Here, Phil Lowe shows you how to design and carve the version made popular in Colonial Philadelphia. You will learn about: the history of the cabriole leg; making leg-profile patterns; refining the shapes with Spokeshaves, rasps, and files; laying out the ball and claw on the foot of the blank; rough-carving with straight and spoon gouges; sharpening carving tools; rounding out the legs; scraping and varnishing. Running time 110 minutes.
